My poor hubby was moving some fallen branches to our burn pile and got stung. We didn't see a swarm, but there were at least 10 bees chasing him around. He got stung in five places, ouch! I put some Benadryl on his bites, thankfully he is not allergic. A couple of bees actually followed him into the house and I shot them w/ Raid.

Can you help me ID? I will call a pest control service tomorrow as that is what the TAMU website recommends. It appears they are still a rare occurrence in my area so I will also call our ext. office.

Thanks for your help
